Christoph Moll Technical manager at TVN LIVE PRODUCTION

With the new phone app [from Hitomi], you just hold the phone in front of the camera and put the microphone near it, and then it just comes out with, “this is the path delay, literal, beginning to end. There are no arguments. It is 42 milliseconds [delay]. Let’s fix it now.

Compensating for video delays through the various processing engines can be time-consuming and not very satisfactory. We found MatchBox did just what we needed, saving our crews a lot of time to get the audio and video outputs in sync. Not only does it measure by how much it is wrong, it also gives us reassurance when right.

MatchBox has been adopted by many of our partners and customers which clearly demonstrates the strength of the product. In order to align with their test equipment and ensure that we continue to add value during technical line-ups, this purchase was essential to expand our suite of test and analysis equipment.

Phil Goulden Head of Network Operations, NEP Connect

Our MatchBoxes are an absolutely essential piece of equipment which enables us to quickly analyse where any delays are in the chain.

Dan McDonnell Managing Director, Timeline Television

This looks like a very effective solution to a very annoying problem and we would like to include it in next years equipment.

Matthew Tomkinson Director of Technology and Events, IBC

With over 50 lines to check at once there isn’t time for the subjectivity of lining up by eye and ear. The great advantage of MatchBox is speed and accuracy. Overall it was an excellent solution.
